“Having been involved in my business life with sporting and other events, one aspect that needs bringing into the 21st century is the ticketing arrangements,” Sir Thompson said. “The Una system will, when adopted, solve most of the current problems, including cost, security and crowd control.”

Una customers must register for an account to receive a personalised smart card and mobile app pass, valid for three years. The one-off £5.99 fee for the pass, Una says, means that pass holders will not pay booking fees for their tickets.

Already, 1,000 passes have been purchased.

“Do not dismiss us as just another start-up ticketing agency,” said founder Amar Chauhan. “We are here to shake up the establishment and give power back to fans.

“We have built a solid end-to-end solution to combat the widespread problems in the ticketing industry, which can take on the leading agencies across all live event sectors.”
